Title: Builder's tool
Inventor: HALL ANTHONY
IPC: B25H7/02
Filed: 1998-12-03
Abstract: The application describes a bricklayers' tool comprising four arms, 10,12,14,16, each arm being connected to others thereby to define a quadrilateral, at least two of the connections being adjustable thereby to permit at least one arm to be adjusted relative to the remaining arms. Preferably, at least three of the connections are adjustable thereby to permit adjustment of two arms. More preferably, all four connections are adjustable, allowing free adjustment of all arms relative to each other. It is particularly preferred if the adjustment is of both translation and rotation of the respective arm relative to the others. Clearly, adjustment of translation only allows marking of bricks as to the length to be cut off, whilst rotation additionally allows marking of bricks to a trapezoidal shape. A suitable manner of providing adjustment of connections is for the respective arms to be connected by nut and bolt, 18, 20, arrangements, the bolt sliding in an elongate slot 10a, 12a etc formed in one or more of the arms concerned. The nuts are preferably wing nuts to aid tightening and unlocking.

Patent GB-191125596-A (GB)
IPC: D06F71/22
Abstract: 25,596. Tindall, A. W. Nov. 16. Ironing-machines with pressing action only.- The collars of coats and like garments, either during manufacture or when made up, are pressed between the conical surfaces of heated pressing-boxes. The collar is placed upon the stationary pressing - box A, having a convex working surface, and, upon depression of a treadle D, a link I is forced forwards to bring the movable box C, with a concave working surface, against the collar, the movement being controlled by links K passing through guides in a framework B. A spring pin N meets the collar as the parts approach, and thus prevents the work from shifting. Interchangeable pressing-members are provided, in pairs, of various sizes and patterns, and are heated by gasburners or in other suitable manner. For dealing with made-up garments, pins P are inserted in the guide-links K so as to limit their rearward movement, whereupon the continued action of the returning-spring H causes, through the link I, the movable member C to tilt upwards and thus to provide a larger space for the removal and insertion of the work.
